Our methodologies are based on the questionnaires that were designed and deciphered with the help of the students studying in the “Educational Psychology” program at Pskov State University Department of Education. The high school students in the 9th, 10thand 11th grades were asked to participate and answer specific questions in the questionnaires. These questions can be found in Tables 1 and 2. Teenagers between the ages of 14–17 years old in 9th–11thgrades were chosen to participate in the questionnaires as it is the ideal time period of their development of adolescence period and while their horizons widen with their youth worldview attitudes. There were slightly more girls than boys in our conducted study.Findings. Throughout our studies we discovered the first priority of today’s teenagers is the value of personal happiness and a financially secure life. In addition, we found that teenagers’ desires are to dress well, obtain a good education, having free time for hobbies and social life and to live in prosperity. Our study also concluded teenagers’ priority includes good friends as their peers and are a preference group with whom they feel comfortable and secure sharing about their life plans, first love and hobbies. Self–confidence also ranked as a priority within the hierarchy of values as teenagers today feel insecure and are characterized by self–doubt. Originality / Value / Practical implications.

In particular, we designed a distinct questionnaire that remits and examines specific ranks and priorities of teenagers’ value orientations. This then directed us to understanding about the decision making and about the life’s goals. Moreover, the results of this study can be used as the basis for the development of relevant content for a regional education internship program or a school education program, which is a mandatory document for all secondary educational institutions within the Russian Federation.Keywords: Value; value orientations; implementation of values; introduction of values; school age.
